Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 206 205 Crazy Armor
"Bloodthirsty armor, cursed armor, crazy armor... This should be the thing that can curse an entire city to death. It needs to be sealed away."

In a city under the jurisdiction of Jianhai County, Tang's figure gradually appeared in the real world.

As an angel who had been promoted to a miracle worker and possessed a Sequence 2 status, he walked into the house of Freddy Robert, a famous collector in Jianhai County, as if no one was around.

His arrival did not attract the attention of any male servant or maid. He was even able to walk in a leisurely manner, admiring the portraits, exquisite sculptures and many things from ancient times hanging on the wall, while walking towards the room emitting black air that was extremely difficult to observe in the eyes of ordinary people.

He walked through the door of the confined room and entered it, where he saw many carefully preserved things.

"This collector is truly a true collector. As an ordinary person without any extraordinary powers, he actually dares to bring everything home. Tsk tsk, many of these ancient items are dangerous."

"If it weren't for the clergy of the Church of the Storm using their extraordinary powers every month during mass to protect the wealthy businessmen who can donate enough gold pounds, the things placed here alone would be enough to kill anyone who stayed in this room for a long time in a very horrific way in a short period of time."

As a collector, long-term contact with these things is an inevitable result, which also leads to the fact that this collector's luck is really not very good, and he always finds some messy and weird things.

Fixing his eyes on the ancient silver full-body armor placed in the corner, which looked neither dangerous nor very noticeable, Tang touched his chin, took a few steps forward, and carefully looked at this thing handed down from ancient times.

"Dark red bloodstains that cannot be washed away, the blood left behind by an ancient god."

A bright light flashed in his eyes, and then immediately dimmed, like an illusion.

After taking a few steps back, Tang regained his composure and muttered to himself:
"It is indeed connected to the Giant King, Ormir. Through the blood left on this item, it indirectly influenced the Giant King's Court, throwing the Dark Angel Sasriel's evil spirit out of the Giant King's Court, leaving only the Blasphemous Slate... No, it seems not enough."

The Giant King's Court is the earthly kingdom of the Giant King Ormir. Even though this ancient god is dead, the kingdom he left behind still has certain special features.

By borrowing the Crazy Armor that has a certain mystical connection with the Giant King Olmir, a bug is created to activate the special features of the Giant King's Court. Although the success rate of throwing the Dark Angel directly out is not very high, it is still a method.

"This should be it, the sealed artifact codenamed '1-42' by the Church of Evernight, the crazy armor."

Through the revelation of fate and the ability of divination, Tang quickly determined that this crazy armor would cause a rather terrible riot in the next month. The suspected out-of-control crazy armor would not only be limited to its holder, but large-scale, widespread death would be the next fate of this city.

"Host, do you want to notify the Church of Evernight now?"

"Let them find out for themselves."

Tang thought about it and shook his head. "This item won't have such a big impact right now. Besides, this outcome isn't just caused by the item needing to be sealed."

Otherwise, why did only collectors die before, but this time the entire city is going to die?

The inherent logic has changed, and there is always a reason for it.

Although it is not mentioned in the original novel, according to Tang's own knowledge of mysticism and the results of divination, there must be someone or something that stimulated the seal and led to such a tragedy.

It is not a big problem to directly and forcibly interfere with these things in the original work. For the Church of Darkness, a "level 1" sealed object is lost. They don't have it now anyway, so if they come across it, it will naturally be theirs.

"As for the troublesome matters involved, let the marionettes handle them. They are already mature marionettes, and they know how to carry out their mission properly without the control of the Marionette Master..."

Tang's figure gradually disappeared. He was just a projection of the real world from Euclidean space.

"Host, your thoughts are somewhat contrary to Tiangang..."

The system also left with its host. It was recently busy integrating the entire Crimson Campus and was currently applying to its main system for further upgrades. It really didn't have much time to deal with this issue.

As for Doe, Bazel, and Evans, a Sequence 4 Trickster from the Diviner's Path, a Sequence 5 Light Priest from the Sun's Path, and a Sequence 5 Chaos Mentor from the Lawyer's Path. This configuration can be said to be able to deal with most possible occult dangers. Especially with the presence of a demigod-level powerhouse, investigating the problems within the city is not difficult.

The same applies to taking back this sealed object.

Demigods are extremely terrifying beings no matter where they are.

So, when several investigators arrived at the residence of Freddy Robert, a famous collector in Jianhai County, Doe stopped Freddy Robert who was about to go out based on the fortune teller's revelation.

Then, they 'persuaded' the great collector to buy the armor directly for five thousand gold pounds.

Afterwards, they placed the armor in the temporary safe house they had rented, waiting for the problem to break out.

Ah, what a simple and unpretentious solution...

"I always feel like something is wrong." The split spirit insects combined into an avatar belonging to Tang and were observing this side. Seeing this solution, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

But at least the first step is completed.

The main belief in Jianhai County is the Lord of Storms. Here, the beliefs of the Church of the Goddess of Evernight and the Church of the God of Craftsmen are generally not as widespread as the Lord of Storms. There is only one righteous god who holds the power over storms and waves among the seven orthodox sects, so the belief in the Lord of Storms is the mainstream belief of the vast majority of coastal areas and maritime groups.

Therefore, the vast majority of pirates and people who frequently needed to go out to sea naturally believed in this deity. Even if it wasn't Loen, places near the sea, such as Intis and Feysac, also had a worship of similar storms and the ocean.

Of course, in order to consolidate the faith of their followers, nations like Intis and Feysac often establish corresponding angels with similar authority within their own churches, providing believers in need with a point of prayer, rather than providing an anchor for the opposing deities. This city under the jurisdiction of Jianhai County is similarly situated. The churches of the Storm Church and the Night Church are located on the north and south sides of the city, with the Storm Church's church closer to the main road, and the Night Church's church closer to the city government. The former's architecture is more refined and grander, while the latter's is significantly smaller. The primary reason for this difference is naturally the number of believers.

As for the Artisan Church... there seems to be a small church on the dock, but basically no one cares about it.

The Church of the Lord of Storms, under the reform of the Church of Night, is also one of the three major orthodox churches in Loen. It is the representative of the Lord of Storms on earth, and significant changes have also taken place within the church.

Archbishop Chanis of the Church of Evernight did not hold back on such details. Being able to improve the corresponding system and ensure that extraordinary events do not harm ordinary people as much as possible is a major reform in the history of the major churches.

As part of the Storm Church's "Manufactured Punishers" team handling relevant issues, Giles Nick, a Sequence 6 Wind-Blessed One, had received the relevant intelligence and was ready to visit the Collector Freddy Robert.

"This one has been handled by several people, and has caused something that only supernatural powers can create. It's obviously something quite dangerous and requires special treatment."

Such an item had unknowingly entered the city of Varda. Obviously, if it was not handled properly, it would lead to consequences that they could not bear.

When the captain of the Mandated Punishers team led his team members to find collector Freddy Roberts who was enjoying a romantic drama, they heard an answer from him that they could not understand at all.

"That armor you were talking about? Ah, it's just been bought." The collector, Freddy Robert, was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, slightly overweight and with a lot of hair falling out. He smiled at the Mandated Punishers and said,

"If you had come faster, you might have run into those people. Oh, seriously, someone would actually spend five thousand pounds just to buy an item like that..."

"Do you know who bought it?"

Collector Freddy Robert thought for a moment and said, "Three men, wearing strange clothes, blocked my door... Oh, right, they claimed to be investigators from a university called Miskatonic."

"Miskatonic University?"

When the captain of the Mandated Punishers heard the name mentioned by Collector Freddy Robert, he suddenly recalled the message sent by the Storm Church headquarters not long ago, which was to pay close attention to something called "Miskatonic University".

"Those three Beyonders who bought that obviously problematic armor are from Miskatonic University? What do they want to do?"

The next target of the investigation was very clear. One team member was left with the collector Freddy Robert to try to restore the true appearance of the three people who bought the armor with the help of ritual magic. The rest of the people were to directly track down the whereabouts of the armor and make sure to find those obviously problematic people before they did anything.

Tracking down someone requires certain clues, and those people have obviously done very powerful anti-divination and anti-prophecy, and cannot easily obtain corresponding revelations directly from the spiritual world through the means of prophecy and divination.

All the Beyonders of the Church of Storms were busy mobilizing the informants of the Mandated Punishers in this city to search for people.

I thought it would take some time to investigate these things, but I didn't expect that those extraordinary people who were said to be from Miskatonic University would come to me on their own.

Less than twenty-four hours had passed since the crazy armor was bought, and the St. Borg Church, belonging to the Church of Storms, had already found a buyer.

He was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, dressed in the style of Jianhai County, with weather-beaten, dark skin and an overly honest look. He did not look like a foreigner, but rather a local of Jianhai County.

After hearing the story relayed by the church clergy, the dark-skinned middle-aged man smiled and said, "I killed my wife and buried her in..."

The captain of the Mandated Punishers team was about to say something when he was interrupted by the words of the person in front of him.

Mandated Punisher Squad Leader:?

After a long, babble of incoherent speech, the dark-skinned man finished recounting all the sins he had committed, which were enough to send him to the gallows more than a dozen times. The captain of the Substitute Punishers team listened quietly from beginning to end, suppressing his desire to pray to God to strike this man who should not live in this world to death with a lightning bolt.

Until the end, the dark-skinned middle-aged man smiled, looking extremely simple and friendly. If you just look at his appearance, it is really hard to imagine that such a person has killed no less than five relatives and friends in his decades of life, and has never been suspected because of his honest and simple behavior in daily life.

"Well, that's the crime I want to state, and the rest, Mr. Giles Nick,"

He directly called out the real name of the Mandated Punisher in front of him and said, "Regarding the armor that the Church of the Storm was pursuing, we have recovered it and have done some sealing and cleaning."

After hearing the person in front of him suddenly change his way of speaking and behave abnormally, Giles Nick did not take action directly.

He knew that the person in front of him could not be the extraordinary people from Miskatonic University. Obviously, some of those extraordinary people had the extraordinary power to suggest, hypnotize others, or turn people into puppets.

Tricky, very tricky.

Giles Nick asked calmly, "Who are you, and what are you going to do with that armor?"

"Who are we? Well, that's a good question."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Don't you think that relying solely on the power of the church is actually difficult to take care of all aspects of the problem? Take this person, for example. He has killed five lives in his decades of life. But until now, before he said what I just said, who in the church or the government knew about this?"

"Please rest assured, we are not enemies, and there is no need for us to be enemies with the Storm Church."
